Dealing with flight issues can be really frustrating. However, the bright side is that the European Union has laws to help travelers when things don’t go as planned. If you’re traveling by air in the EU, it’s a good idea to know about these regulations. They can come in handy if your flight gets messed up.

Knowing what you’re entitled to can make dealing with travel issues less stressful. While it won’t get you to your destination quicker, it can reduce your anxiety when things get disrupted.

Passenger Rights under EU Regulation 261/2004

When you’re flying in the EU, rest assured that there’s assistance available in the case of a flight disruption. EU laws ensure airlines look after their passengers when things go wrong.

When flights are delayed or cancelled, airlines must provide you:

  • Refreshments and snacks
  • A hotel room if you’re stranded overnight
  • Transportation to and from the hotel
  • Two free phone calls, emails, or faxes

If you’re delayed for a long time or your flight is cancelled, you might also be entitled to:

  • A refund
  • An alternative flight
  • Compensation to make up for the inconvenience

Remember to ask airline staff about these entitlements if your plans change. They must tell you about your rights when there’s a significant delay or cancellation.

Vueling Flight Delay Compensation

Flight delays from Vueling can be really annoying. However there’s a silver lining: if you’re stranded for more than three hours because of the airline’s fault, you might be able to get some compensation.

Laws in the UK and EU are on your side. You could be eligible for up to €600 per person. What counts is when you land, not when you take off. So pay attention to your arrival time if you want to seek flight delay compensation.

Your compensation depends on how far you’re flying. A short flight won’t get you as much money as a longer flight, even if they’re both delayed equally.

Interested in learning exactly how much you could get? Take a look at the table below to see what compensation you could receive:

Less than 3 hoursBetween 3-4 hoursOver 4 hoursDistance
€0€250€250All flights up to 1500 km
€0€400€400All flights between 1500 km and 3500 km
€0€400€400All intra-EU flights over 3500 km
€0€300€600All non-EU flights over 3500 km

Vueling Flight Cancellation Compensation

The EU has laws to protect you if your flight is cancelled. Here’s what you need to know:

If your flight gets cancelled within two weeks of your scheduled departure, you may be entitled to compensation of up to €600. But keep in mind – the airline doesn’t have to pay if they rebook you on a different flight that doesn’t mess up your plans too much.

The airline can avoid paying you if they arrange a replacement flight that meets the following conditions:

Advance NoticeRe-routing Requirements
14 DaysNone
7 – 13 DaysAlternative flight departing no more than 2 hours before and arriving less than 4 hours after the original flight
Less than 7 DaysAlternative flight departing no more than 1 hour before and arriving less than 2 hours after the original flight

If you agree to take another flight from the airline, you’re still eligible for compensation. The most important thing is your arrival time at your destination.

Your potential compensation is based on two factors:

  1. The length of your flight
  2. How late you arrive

So, even if the new flight doesn’t get there on time, you could still be eligible for compensation.

Look at the following table to understand better:

Under 2 hours2-3 hours3-4 hoursOver 4 hoursNever arrivedDistance
€125€250€250€250€250All flights 1,500 km or less
€200€200€400€400€400Internal EU flights over 1,500 km
€200€200€400€400€400Non-internal EU flights 1,500 km- 3,500 km
€300€300€300€600€600Non-internal EU flights over 3,500 km

The airline might not have to compensate you if they can provide transportation to your destination, close to the original schedule. Even with a slight delay, you might not be entitled to flight cancellation compensation.

How to Claim Compensation from Vueling

It’s essential to be aware of how to request the compensation you’re entitled to under EU Regulation 261/2004. Here’s what you need to do:

  • Complete our form. You’ll need to provide details like your flight number, date, and what went wrong.
  • Let our experts help you. Once you submit the form, our team will take over. We understand the EU laws comprehensively and will make every effort to get you your compensation. You are only charged if we win your case.

Keep in mind that you have the right as a passenger to claim compensation for a cancelled or delayed flight. No matter whether your flight was delayed because of operational reasons or technical issues, if it was not caused by extraordinary circumstances including inclement weather or air traffic control decisions, you have a right to compensation.

Which Vueling Flights are Covered by EU261?

The European Union’s laws for protecting air passengers are far-reaching. They apply to every flight leaving an airport within an EU country and every flight landing at a European Union member state airport provided the airline is based in the EU.

ItineraryCovered by EU 261
Flights departing EU airports✅ Covered
Flights arriving at EU airports✅ Covered

These regulations also cover airlines from Switzerland, Iceland, and Norway. This means if you’re traveling with any airline to, within, or from Europe, you likely have these rights. It’s helpful to know about these regulations – they exist to support you if problems occur with your flight. They make sure you’re not stranded when your travel plans fall through.

When You Are Not Entitled to Compensation

Vueling isn’t always responsible when flights are delayed or cancelled. Sometimes, events occur that the airline has no control over, like severe weather conditions or unforeseen issues.

For instance, if there’s a sudden storm, an urgent situation at the airport, or a strike by air traffic controllers, Vueling is not liable. These are called “extraordinary circumstances” that the airline has no control over.

When these situations occur, you probably won’t get any compensation. The airline is not considered to be doing anything wrong when these unforeseen difficulties arise.
